Australia-wide censorship order for corruption

case involving Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam

WikiLeaks release: July 29, 2014

Blanket censorship order preventing reporting on Australia's largest financial corruption case and any
derived allegations against the current and former heads of state of Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam and
other senior officials. The document also specifically bans publication of the order itself and the June 2014
affidavit of Australia's newly appointed representative to the UN, Gillian Bird. The order was granted under
"national security" grounds in order to "prevent damage to Australia's international relations". The order
was issued following the indictment of seven senior executives related to the Reserve Bank of Australia.
The case concerns allegations of multi-million-dollar payments to persons with high-level political
connections in Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia in order to secure contracts for the production of
Australian plastic currency banknotes for these countries.
